Brighter lighting improves safety 

Lighting upgrades around the Bedford Park campus are now complete. Old and inefficient lighting has been replaced on paths and walkways around Lake Road and the Health Sciences, Student Centre, Biological Sciences and Sir Eric Neal buildings. The bright, new LED lights make the campus safer – especially during the darker winter months – and are more energy efficient to boot!
